queXS 1.2.0 Released

queXS 1.2.0 has been released on Sourceforge today.

queXS 1.2.0 has 3 major feature additions since 1.1.0:

  1. Ability to produce a separate Limesurvey questionnaire to act as a respondent selection module (Sponsor: McMaster University)
  2. Can export Limesurvey questionnaires directly to queXML PDF files, ready to import to queXF with complete banding information (click on the new "Scanner" icon in the queXS Limesurvey installation)
  3. Quota row prioritisation added including auto priority calculation (Sponsor: Zimi)

In addition, Translations have been updated (Thank you to those on Launchpad who have contributed).

The documentation (Administration manual and Reports and quota documentation) has been amended to include details of the new features.

Upgrading requires a small database update. Read more for upgrade details:
